European data rules shape how cloud services are built and deployed, pushing software providers to offer options that keep data and control inside the region. A new move by customer experience software firm Genesys shows how vendors are preparing for that shift, as more organisations weigh compliance risks when choosing where to run cloud workloads. […]
Cloud capacity is becoming one of the main constraints on enterprise AI adoption, and Amazon’s latest spending plans show how providers are responding. The company is preparing to commit roughly $200 billion in capital expenditure, much of it aimed at expanding AWS data centres, custom chips, and related AI infrastructure, according to reporting by the […]
Fibre-optic equipment manufacturer, Corning, has set out plans to increase its number of manufacturing plants in North Carolina, in a deal with Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. The agreement will see Corning supply its fibre optic technology to Meta’s data centres. Meta has reportedly agreed to a deal in which it […]
Alphabet’s expanding AI cloud infrastructure push shows how demand is putting real pressure on the systems that power enterprise computing. Hyperscale providers are responding by sharply increasing spending on compute capacity, but supply remains tight as AI workloads grow faster than data centre buildouts. Alphabet’s latest earnings call offered a clear window into that tension. […]
For many European organisations, cloud decisions are no longer just about cost, scale, or performance. As companies assess options such as Amazon’s sovereign cloud, choices are increasingly shaped by questions of control: where data sits, who can access it, and how exposed critical systems are to foreign laws and political pressure. That tension helps explain […]
One of the challenges facing cloud and digital infrastructure is the widening gap between committed data centre capacity and infrastructure that actually reaches construction or completion. Enterprises that depend on cloud services, colocation providers or use hybrid infrastructure will see the issue’s implications for cost, resilience, deployment timelines, and strategic planning. That’s according to a […]
Google Cloud has agreed to a multiyear security services partnership with Palo Alto Networks as enterprise use of AI in cloud environments grows. A source told Reuters the deal is worth close to $10 billion over its lifetime. The agreement marks Google Cloud’s largest security services deal to date. While financial terms were not disclosed […]
A new multicloud networking service built by Amazon and Google is now available, giving companies a faster way to link the two tech giants’ cloud platforms at a time when even short internet outages can disrupt major online services. The system lets customers set up private, high-speed connections between AWS and Google Cloud in minutes […]
The challenge of running simulation and high-performance workloads efficiently is a constant issue, requiring input from stakeholders including infrastructure teams, cybersecurity professionals, and, of course, ever-watchful finance officers. Running these types of high-compute tasks often involves thousands of concurrent processes and are costly to run on traditional infrastructure. IBM’s latest update to its Cloud Code […]
Huawei’s Shanghai Acoustics R&D Centre is a centre for acoustic engineering excellence, and a demonstration of how cloud computing automotive applications can reshape vehicle technology development. Behind the 43-speaker HUAWEI SOUND ULTIMATE Series is a computational infrastructure that processes massive acoustic datasets, runs simulations, and enables real-time audio processing that would have been impossible a […]
